I cannot fault Dr Chikura and his team. They take excellent care of me. I went in with a query about a rheumatoid nodule and after a thorough examination I left with appointments for an Xray, a blood test form and a prescription for steroids, plus the possibility of switching my regular medication. Incredibly thorough!

Dr Chikura always puts me at ease, I feel seen and listened to. I have suffered for a few years and since seeing Dr Chikura, his diagnosis and treatment plan has changed my life. I am mainly pain free and able to do things I enjoyed before I got ill. Highly recommend him. He is always polite, never rushes you and appointments are always on time. Thank you for everything.
